If I'm reading the Kapor Center report right (and please correct me if I'm not!), it's about the experiences of people who leave, i.e., it's already selected for people leaving. It's somewhat unsurprising that reasons are broadly similar among these people, and it doesn't really speak to whether (proportionally) more people from one group or another actually leave.

For instance, if 5% of people in category A leave each year, and 30% of people in category B leave each year, and 10% of each of them cite sexual harassment as the reason to leave, I would say that we have a much bigger problem with sexual harassment against category B. (And, at the same time, I would also say that anyone saying that category A doesn't face this problem at all / it's not worth addressing / whatever is wrong!)
